All For You (Janet Jackson Album)
''All for You'' is the seventh studio album by American singer Janet Jackson. It was released on April 24, 2001, by Virgin Records. The album's development and theme were rooted in Jackson's separation from husband René Elizondo Jr. as she attempted to move on. Contrary to ''The Velvet Rope'', which saw Jackson tackling darker themes such as domestic violence and depression, ''All for You'' showcased a mix of upbeat dance-pop and slow R&B sounds, incorporating rock, disco, and funk, as well as soft rock and East Asian music. Its lyrics focus on passion, romance, and intercourse, while also discussing themes of betrayal and deceit.

It was also considered one of her sexiest albums and among the best o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
